Straight Ahead

Product Notes

BIO Born: March 12, 1987 'Straight Ahead' is the maiden voyage for singer Brityn Lotz - and there's no turning back. With Brityn in full command of the vocal helm, you won't want to stop the journey. Once you join her on her trek with 'Lost Without You,' you're hooked. Taking her stylistic cues from pathfinder Aretha, Reba, Faith and Shania, Brityn's song trail leads through original tracks as well as soulful covers of 'I Feel the Earth Move' and 'Knock on Wood.' Displaying the nerve of a daring explorer and the subtlety, wit and maturity of a seasoned musical traveler, Brityn is in full control of this expedition. Whether winding through the intricate vocal curves of 'What a Heart Will Do for Love' and 'Wild Frontier,' masterfully negotiating the sassy 'One Eighty' and 'I Don't Play That Game,' confidently conquering the road 'Back to Lafayette,' or pushing the spiritual stratosphere of 'Lightly' and 'There Will Come a Day,' your guide will wring your emotions to exhaustion. Then you'll want more! Rest assured, more will come. But for now, join Brityn as you both move 'Straight Ahead.'
